It must be 30 seconds long, no shorter, no longer.<br /><br />2) Upload your video to <a href="http://youtube.com/">You Tube</a>.<br /><br />3) An impartial committee (which will include at least one non-UU) will seek to find the best of the bunch. Criteria: an ad that would entice someone who is not UU (and probably doesn't know what UU is) to seek out more information, and hopefully go to a UU church near them.<br /><br />4) After you upload your video, come here and put a link in comments. You can do this with your name, anonymously ... whatever.<br /><br />DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2007<br /><br />GRAND PRIZE: Major bragging rights. And if your ad is truly sublime, truly has the power to change the world ... well, who knows?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7440124566821398651-7891379075544421252?l=uuadcontest.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lizard Eaternoreply@blogger.com6
